Hello there! I’m Isobel, originally from Bath, but now living in the seaside town of Bournemouth.
I studied Fine Art at Bournemouth Arts University but after I’d gained my BA (hons) I found I loved Illustration much more! I’ve now illustrated a children’s book for the series “Little People, Big Dreams” and for children’s book author Ellen de Lange, which will be published in the summer 2024.
I mainly work in collage or Procreate, often combining the two.
You’ll see from a lot of my work that I love hotels. When I was young I used to be a hotel receptionist. It was such an interesting job, with no two days the same and strange and wonderful characters (usually the staff rather than the guests!) It gave me a fascination for hotels - and the life behind them - that has never left me. My 100 Lost Hotel series was originally a personal project but became an exhibition at Bournemouth Library and featured on BBC South Today.
